Because it shows that a sizable amount of people are at least anti-nazi enough to move platform.

Yes, it would be nicer if they moved to mastodon, but nobody even knows what that is, nobody is there (classic chicken and egg problem), and people get confused by the whole “choose an instance/server” thing.

Is it not ok to have a small celebration of people moving to a better, more positive platform, even if it is far from perfect?

No shit? It’s run by ex-Twitter people, and Musk has brought a flamethrower to TwitterX.

Now show me these hundreds of others of US bases in Europe.

Oh wait, you can’t. They have 128 bases in total outside of the US, with a disproportionate amount of those in South Korea. Ergo, your claim that there are hundreds of them in Europe was a complete fabrication.

You evidently do not understand geopolitics if you believe Russia invading Ukraine is the US’s war.

And as for yelling slurs… mate, you literally just called myself and others mentally disabled for disagreeing with your pro-Russia tankie nonsense.

Now, I don’t know where you’re from, but where I live, calling someone disabled as an insult is definitely frowned upon, and considered a slur.

I have to say, that was a sub-par attempt at a straw man argument. I’ve seen far better.

Alas, the existence of US military bases outside of the US does not mean that Russia invading Ukraine is the US’s fault – It’s Russia’s fault.

You are also deliberately calling NATO bases US bases. They aren’t. They are NATO bases. NATO is a defence treaty where every member joined willingly. In fact, more are seeking to join, because of Russia’s aggression.

And yes, you are a tankie. Plain and simple.

Ok that’s actually pretty funny

I’m usually a defender of opt-out telemetry in Linux, what with it usually being trivial to untick in the installer, the telemetry not being invasive, the telemetry being private and not being able to identify people, it being used to actually benefit Linux rather than make money, and because opt-in telemetry is useless (as repeatedly stated by multiple Linux projects that I trust, such as KDE and Gnome)…

That said, holy shit this telemetry collects stuff it really should not be collecting. This is not what Linux telemetry should be. Doubly so from a distro with a troubled past in terms of management and security. This is a red flag.

American war

🥱

Yes, that’s exactly what they want.

“American war” is in their comment, and if you take even just a 5s look at their profile you can see them moaning about “Ukrainian propaganda”.

They are firmly on the side of Russia. A tankie. Lemmy has an unbelievable amount of them.

Having to regularly plug your phone into a PC to back up 100GB+ of photos and videos over a USB 2 connection is not even remotely the same as automatic backups to iCloud that you can then access instantly, at any time, anywhere.

How far back do we go?

Do we just go back to living memory? Do we go beyond? Is the colonialism in the 1800s fair game? What about before that? Do Italy owe reparations for the Romans? Are people owed reparations for the vikings?

Will I be receiving a payout because your caveman ancestor killed one of my caveman ancestors?

It also brings up the question of are African countries liable for their part in things like trading slaves? It’s not like Europe is alone in having a bloody past.

I don’t think the people of today should be paying for the sins of some arsehole rulers 200+ years ago, to be given to people who were never subject to the injustices in history.

This is a cash grab. Nothing more.

Different country of course, but under the 1997-2010 Labour government, UK wages went up by 60%, while at the same time, the UK had the longest period of sustained low inflation since the 1960s.

Increasing wages indeed does not lead to much of an increase in inflation. This is shown in data time and again.

There should be the mandatory inclusion of a set of open APIs that pass info like:

• display and audio signal (duh)

• microphone audio (to pass voice commands)

• whether the headlights are on (to offer auto dark mode switching on the display)

• whether the handbrake is engaged (so things like video playback can be a parked-only feature)

• crash sensor activation (so that a phone could, if the user desires, automatically alert emergency services)

• For EVs, battery SoC (so that navigation software can include charging stops seamlessly)

• whether the car is left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive (so on-screen buttons can always be close to the driver, not on the wrong side)

From there on, there can be actual competition in the space. You’re not just limited to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Any app would be able to use this API data.

I know they aren’t equivelant. Yet you treat them like they are.

I’m not.

Yikes.

Thank fuck you don’t have kids.

Oh look, a tankie.

Sorry, I don’t subscribe to your misguided arsekissing of China – a genocidal dictatorship that openly wants to invade Taiwan.

Same goes for Russia who you also seem to be fond of.

I hate this saying because a large amount of the time it really is malice.

Whoa settle down there, Charles Benedict Davenport

You can compare equatable things…

Now I know you’re trolling. But that’s better than someone who genuinely does think child rape is fine, so that’s good.

You did equate them.

I hope you are never around children.
